Weathersfield to ask voters to approve 7.6 mills in spring election

With the Nov. 8 bond issue failing by just 16 votes, Weathersfield Board of Education voted tonight to go back to voters a second time.

The district wants to get local funds to match a potential $15.6 milion Ohio School Facilities Commission grant.

The board approved placing a total of 7.6 mills on the March ballot, including a 6.6-mill, 30-year bond issue to generate $9,056,940 and a 1-mill continuous improvement levy to generate $85,521 for maintenance. The measure appears on the ballot as one issue, for a total of 7.6 mills.
